They say that in youth you fight, after midlife you love. In the early years you have to settle differences, in later years you want peace and affection. In later years especially men tend to mellow out. Is this true that the longer the marriage the happier the couple?

That is right Tschu8. I've been thru a lot in the 15 years of marriage(not to mention the 5 years of dating.) and i've actually grown closer to my wife than ever. Imagine that. Hope everyone who is married does the same. Steve.

Hope you will be mellowed after some more years. You are only thirty nine. If you have the "we-ness" then you can have a happy married life what ever may be the age. Thanks for the response.

Couple who have been together for many years may have an emotional balance together. They should have a sense of shared meaning and purpose for their life.

I'm not sure about the longer the marriage the happier the couple. But it does seem like men are more mellow as they age. As youths men always seem to want to prove themselves and are more easily agitated and rebellious. As we get older we lose a lot of that and become more human :)

It seems to hold true with my parents. I remember them arguing when i was a child and then when I was in my early 20's they seemed to be "dating" again and now they truly seem so contecnt with eachother and Yes Men Truly Mellow out. My dad is so relaxed now and Ive heard so many others say the same. I am in the 13th year of my marriage and happily past the arguing time!!
